1014 Marlbank - $600,500

When the sellers of 1014 Marlbank Drive decided to relocate, they called Mike Reames.

They were building a new home scheduled for completion in early spring 2026 and needed guidance on how — and when — to sell their current home.

Mike met with the owners to review local market conditions and recent York County sales. They came prepared with questions and concerns, and Mike walked through each one, helping them develop a clear plan and confident strategy.

A few weeks later, the sellers called with unexpected news — their new home would be completed much sooner than anticipated and ready by mid-January. After meeting with several agents, they chose Mike to represent them.

The sellers shared the pricing recommendations they had received from others. After reviewing recent comparable sales, Mike recommended a significantly higher list price. While other agents expressed concerns about appraisal risk, Mike was confident the home would support his pricing strategy.

With Christmas only two weeks away, the sellers wondered if listing during the holidays even made sense.
Do buyers really shop this time of year?

Mike assured them his team could have the home fully prepared and professionally marketed within three days — and immediately went to work.

📸 A professional photographer was onsite Thursday morning.
🏡 Mike Reames and Tiffany McDonough ensured every detail was photo-ready.
📍 Friday morning, 1014 Marlbank Drive officially hit the market.

The sign was in the yard.
A custom property website was live (www.1014Marlbank.com).
700 “Just Listed” mailers were sent.
A full social media campaign launched.
The home was syndicated to over 300 websites.

And the phone started ringing.

Tiffany coordinated showings directly with the sellers, while Mike fielded questions from agents regarding the home’s features and neighborhood amenities.

By the end of the weekend, the results were in:

✅ Three offers
✅ All above asking price

Not all offers are created equal — one was cash, two required financing. Mike and Tiffany advised the sellers on contract strength, terms, and protective language to help ensure a smooth closing.

Once under contract, the process continued: inspections, crawlspace evaluations, negotiations — and the appraisal everyone had worried about.

💥 Appraised at value: $600,500 — $15,500 above list price.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, experience and strategy matter.
